To
overnighter (who I recently got to SEE because I figured out how to Skype! Yays! I learn things! Still haven't figured out Tumblr but Skype! Yay!)
I am sadly more MIA than I wanted to be for 2014 but I've only been using the web for reading fic, not really anything else. Now that TWOP is dead, it totes makes me remember how much I ♥ my internet imaginary friends! We need to have a roll call, or a Skypeing party because it has been TOO long. I don't like The Facebook because I have friended a bunch of people from high school/childhood that I don't remember, plus every time I post something I find funny I get scolding texts from my Mom.
1) Currently, I am sick as fuck and have taken the day off. I had to go to urgent care (and there was this kid that was like 2 with no shoes and her pacifier on this string thing and every time she bent over, it dragged on the floor - come on, kid, get it together) and get a breathing treatment. The 2 packs a day smoking habit is not helping (and I still blame New Jersey, sorry
loracj, I still ♥ you, but what even with the driving up there, I am still traumatized)
2) Captain America 2 has also traumatized me greatly. Chris Evans, what even with your sexy, and Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie, you are also allowed to stay forever. And ever. I don't even like America that much (Go Canada - and Mexico because of reasons). I have so many feels about this movie. ALL THE FEELS.
3) My 18/19 y/o cousin died of a drug overdose a couple of months ago. My aunt and uncle are probably never going to get over it, as if you can ever get over something like that. I think the worst part of the whole thing was hearing all the whispers and gossip from the MASSIVE amount of visitors passing through the wake. They go to one of those big city churches that have multiple services and apparently the church board had approached my aunt/uncle a couple of months before telling them they needed to stage an intervention because he had a problem and they said that they would deal with it. Then he went to college, got kicked out after a week and quit 3 jobs that my uncle got for him before it happened. My uncle got in a major fight with him the night before and they didn't wake him up before they went to work and his sister found him after school. He had been dead since that morning. Hug your children, guys. (I did have this heart to heart with my mom after the funeral and explained that the way our family has always worked and still does - that I NEVER felt like I could come to her or dad with drinking/drug problems because I knew they would judge me too much to ever help me. As seen when I had the DUI and my mom refused to help me pay for the lawyer. Even though I haven't drank since and I fucking learned from it, that it verified what I had always known. I know she loves me and I know my uncle/aunt loved my cousin, but I also know that he would have never felt comfortable talking to them about problems like that because, well, we just don't talk about things like that. The whole thing was kind of enlightening to me because my mom ditched me at the funeral service and the graveside service to sit with her friends from church while I sat with her stepmom several rows ahead of her. She said it wasn't on purpose, but I know I will never offer to go with her anywhere that she knows people if she is seriously that ashamed to be seen with me in public. Don't misinterpret, I fucking love my mom but it's nice to finally understand the rules of how our relationship works as adults.)
3) Speaking of Mom - she is retiring on Friday at 61 because she hates the bitch she works with and has started cleaning house. She says she found a picture of her and dad and these other 3 couples they graduated HS with and their babies at the group baptism/christening service. She says she wishes she knew if it was me or my brother. But she tossed it because she has too many pictures. I ♥ you, too, Moms. She got her disaster relief certification and has been spending 3 days a week chainsawing fallen trees from the ice storms and she is going to Alaska in August on her first missionary trip. She is mad because Dad will not let her use his chainsaw, but I have a feeling it is because they don't have anything that needs chainsawing at home.
4) There is literally nothing new going in my life. Still working at the new job, don't completely hate it yet but am starting to get bored.
5) My BFF and I got into this huge argument yesterday because she doesn't understand why Kate Middleton gets more press than Chelsea Clinton being pregnant. Chelsea Clinton will never be Queen of America. My BFF does not seem to get this.
6) AVENGERS 2 - GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
Now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAKESPEARE!!
And Tom Hiddleston being awesome (as always)
